Dots. And splodges. And squiggles. They worked for Jackson Pollock. They look nice on a roll of self-adhesive bathroom wall tile-effect splash back. And they'll also go a long way towards doing your job for you if you happen to be a highly paid chief statistical analyst for a forward-thinking and back room-staff-heavy Premier League football team.

Our new chalkboards are, of course, open to all, and the last word in dot and splodge-based performance analysis. To prove it, here's our top three selection of your chalkboards from the last week.

3) Ronaldo the wide man

Straight in at No3 this week, it's michaelinmelbourne's Cristiano Ronaldo epic, a comparison of Ronaldo's passing against Everton in January of this year and his efforts against the same opponents in December 2007. As michaelinmelbourne is quick to point out, Ronaldo appears to be sticking to the left against Everton and is noticeably less involved in central positions around the penalty area. Perhaps this says as much about the effect of Dimitar Berbatov on the United front line as anything else. In 2007 Ronaldo was playing alongside Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez. In 2009 he's sharing those spaces with Berbatov, a player who also likes to take up deep positions around the penalty area. Oddly, Ronaldo only passed to Berbatov once over the course of the whole game against Everton (in the 48th minute).

2) How Arteta makes Everton tick

Barrelling in at this week's No2 it's Aymoon's pointillist representation of Mikel Arteta's passes. Dinked, pinged, driven, curled, they're all here in Arteta's 50-pass masterclass against Spurs in November last year. Compare this to Tim Cahill's 17 completed passes over 90 minutes against West Brom in February of this year. The evidence, it large in chalkboard, suggests that Arteta makes Everton's midfield tick. But how many times does he get his manicured head to a long throw flick-on inside the six yard box just when it matters most? Eh? Eh?

1) Direct Gunners?

And exploding violently in at this week's chalkboard No1 spot it's CrazyGooner, who wins a signed Premier League shirt with his massively intense and foreboding work entitled "comparison of Arsenal ball movement from 07/08 and 08/09 seasons". As CrazyGooner points out, two matches with just 18 months and a whole central midfield between them show the shift in the drift of Arsenal's passing movements. Note not just the movement away from short passes in and around the box, but also the increase in long and often diagonal passes forward. It works sometimes too: most clearly in Kolo Toure's assist for Bendtner's second goal against the Baggies.
